LET Us HAVE PEACE.

Read the honest manly letter Of the
president, declining to attend the ma.
tional encampment to be held at St.
Louis this year, and then compare
the noble sentiments Of those who
took part iu the significant celebra-
ton that took place on the 18th OF
july on the battlefield of Gettysburg,
with the despicable conduct Of those
Grand Army people that have dis
graced themselves by their pusilani.
NOUS attempt to intimidate the presi-
dent, which called forth his regrets.
They may be found on the second
page Of to-day's PIONEER:
It is gratifying to see by the pa
pers that the best men of the country
and the bravest veterans Of the union
repudiate the actions and sayings of
the hot.headed, blood thirsty demo
gogues and pseudo patriots that have
been on the rampage over the confed-
crate flag business.
The intentions of the president
were honest, and his was the heart
felt desire to consummate an act
which at Gettysburg had its counter
part, when on the 4th inst. the sur
yiving confederate and union vcter-
ans joined hands in peace and broth.
erly love where twenty-four years be-
fore they had striven in deadly con-
bat. OF that event so significant, so
hUnorabfe, SO gallant and so fratcrnal,
the Chicago Daily Neus writes most
graphically and thrillingly.
It's words should sink deep into the
heart Of every true soldier and put to
shame those blatant blatherskites that
are ~perverting the objects of the
Grand Army Of the Republic and are
seeking to convert it into a machine
for their own political aggrandize-
ment. Thus says the Chicago News:
"As we reckon the battle of Gettysburg as
one of the glorious memories of the war, SO
do we consider the reunion of Saturday and
yesterday Us inestimable in its assurances
and promises to the nation. 1t means that
the magnamity Of the great commander whose
\ words US have peace did so much to
Malay the animosities of the war, is the ruling
Apirit Of the veterans Of the republic, whether
! hey wore the blue or the gray. 1t means
lat the south, represented at Gettysburg by
kR1Ae survivors of Pickett's brigade, has forgiv-
On dcfeat-the hardest requirement-and
that the north, represented upon the scene OF
its great victory by the Philadelphia brigade,
is ready to say no more about it. The scene
H local, the sentiment is national, ind every
patriot this independence day should should
fhank God that times ''efacing fingers
i have softened the bitternesses of q brother
war to such o happy consummation.

The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1887-07-14

We have received a copy of the
Argus Leader of Sioux Falls, contain
ing an article upon the question OF
railway taxation. It appears that
Hon, james A. Ward, the present
territorial auditor took the ground
that all lands and town lots owned by
railroad companies should of right be
taxed; a position antagonistic to that
taken by his predecessor who held
that the percentage of gross earnings
paid by the railroads was in lieu of
jill taxes on their property.
The article referred to is from the
pen Of John F. MCGEE, ESQ.,, of
Minneapolis, formerly of Devils Lake.
1t exhibits the painstaking and ex-
haustive character Of the %gentleman's
examination Of legal questions, and is
u plain and conclusive statement of
the law as it is, unfolding and justi-
flying the course Of action pursued by
the territorial auditor.
